Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, rapid population growth has led to enormous amounts of pressure being put on resources and the environment. Continuous human activities and climate change have caused the deterioration of ecological environments, resulting in a series of meteorological, geological, and other natural disasters. Disaster prevention and reduction is a common goal pursued by all countries in the world. In natural disaster risk monitoring and assessment, hydrological ecological models and risk assessment indicators can give full consideration to the advantages of numerical simulation, correlation analysis, and generalized reasoning methods and have been widely used in the past 20 years. Understanding the impact of human activities and climate change in key regions is conducive to regional natural disaster risk management, the establishment of a natural disaster risk assessment system, and the provision of scientific support for disaster prevention and reduction. However, controlling disaster risk completely seems impractical, especially since quantifying human activities is often difficult. In these cases, reliable methods such as hydrological models and numerical simulations seem to be the most promising way to reduce natural disasters and increase social resilience.
Given this scientific framework, we would like to invite scientists involved in this research field to contribute to this Special Issue, which will broadly focus on the analysis, evaluation, and simulation of natural disasters caused by climate change, human activities, or other drivers, including the risk management and assessment of meteorological disasters and geological disasters. Therefore, manuscripts dealing with case studies of climate change simulation, the impacts of human activities, large-scale or regional drought disasters, the assessment of geological environment trends, and risk analysis of natural disasters at different scales will also be welcomed.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
